My 90 year old man had a burglary here in the U.K. while she was at home. They didn’t get anything, a neighbour scared them off.

She was obviously shocked about it.

Rumours spread on the local Facebook group and was picked up by the local paper who ran a story two week later.

My Nan then read about how lots of things had been stolen from her house and now believes the paper, not the reality she had lived.

If people are willing to believe what they are told third hand rather than what they know themselves, what hope is there?
